I am no lover of ganson but to be fair he has been found guilty at this moment in time of.................nothing! I always dispair when someone arrested "on suspicion"(and suspicion is all the police need apparently to arrest someone)has their name dragged through the mud. He is innocent until proven guilty and only then should this story have been released.

It's fair enough to say he's innocent till proven otherwise but surely the RFL also has to take into account his ability to do what is a tough job. I think it's fair for them to make a judgement that he is perhaps not in the correct frame of mind to do the job. Can you imagine the extra abuse he'll cop? I know it's not a pro level, but a few years ago a local ref here lost his brother in the days leading up to a game but still insisted on reffing. He had a shocker and it was generally accepted that he just wasn't up to it emotionally. Different situation but perhaps a similar concern here.
